SPECIAL SITUATIONS

In addition to the typical acquisition, divestiture, financing and restructuring transactions, there are a number of situations that are unique and require some specific skills and experience. Areas we have proven success include:

Shareholder Dispute Resolution

Whether it is determining appropriate valuation methodology as part of a shareholder agreement, deciding to exercise a shotgun or reacting to one, or if it is a succession-related issue between family members, we can provide invaluable experience and judgment to ensure you are confident of your actions.

Strategic Alternatives

Many companies find themselves at a cross-roads from time-to-time. We pride ourselves on our strategy of developing long-term relationships with clients and providing objective advice based on our knowledge and experience. We are success oriented and we always attempt to align our compensation with our clients‘ success. We do not provide short-sighted or self-serving advice - we believe we offer and deliver sound, innovative solutions to our clients.

Income Trusts

A high profile segment of the Canadian capital markets that has been in flux, income trusts had originally provided a desirable alternative exit to shareholders of private companies. With changes to the regulatory environment, these entities are now more likely to be going private as takeover targets. The process and issues are more complex than a typical transaction. Our experience and relationships combined with our independent and objective advice provide clients with a partner that will work with them from start to finish.

Drawing on our vast experience, we are well suited to be your trusted partner.
